Minimalist Tx support
Phase 1 of deployment. There is a sine modulated AM modulator with a File Sink device for the Tx device. Everything works at a single rate of 48 kS/s (no interpolation). The I/Q (.sdriq) file output can be re-injected in the File Source device for verification.
In the Device menu of the top bar of the main window click on "Add sink device" to open a set of tabs oriented towards transmission (sink devices). Then in the device selector you can activate the only device available (FileSink) and you can add as many AM modulators as you would do for demodulators. The carriers will be mixed in the baseband that you can watch in the main spectrum window.
Debian package
At last we will distribute a .deb package which will install the software in /opt/sdrangel since it is not part of any official Debian or Ubuntu distribution. Therefore it will not interfere with the standard installation. Moreover it has specific plugin libraries and embedded libraries that you don't want interfering with standard locations. BladeRF is not supported yet due to its complicated build process as an internal dependency this will come soon however.
Install it as usual for a .deb package:
- Make sure the
universerepository is in your/etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get updatesudo dpkg -i sdrangel_v2.2.0-1_amd64.debsudo apt-get -f installThis installs missing dependencies
You can then start it from the command line:
/opt/sdrangel/bin/sdrangel
By default the sampling devices panel is not visible so on the very first time you start you will need to go to the "Window" item on the top bar menu of the main window and activate it by checking "Sampling devices"
